I saw this blog post, that unfortunately doesn't live up to the promise of the title, and it inspired me to wonder if we could, together, come up with 206 reasons to love Bones. I'll start with a few, trying to avoid some of the obvious ones.

That's a really great question, Shep, and I'm totally open to suggestions. At the very least, this gives anyone looking for fan conversion tips topics of conversation. But I'd love to use it for more than that!

The only conversion tactic I can think of at the moment (for girls anyway) is dangling hot pictures of David Boreanaz in front of their faces - but that would only work on the already DB fans (most of whom probably watch Bones already) or the really horny ones who have a good taste in eye-candy but I can't seem to find people either category!

What is wrong with this world?

Come to think of it, I might be on the verge of success concerning a very good friend of mine - when I obsess, she actually asks questions about Bones! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying to God, the PTBs and any other higher entity out there...

Brennan speaking german was great. Actually I'm german, I had too hear it two or three times to understand what she was saying (but to be honest I didn't expect a german sentence so that took me a bit off guard). I think it was really cute an she did quite well.

On the London show three of the characters were named Emerson, Lake and Palmer I believe. I can't download the episode to check though--Canadian. Also, Billie Ray McKenna the character must be named after the one with the same name who works on the show--something to do with electrician I think.I love it when the writers deposit little jokes. This is an excellent list--brings back lots of memories.

"The Royal Diner" does have a likeness in the DC area: "The Royal Restaurant" in Alexandria VA. Has diner feel on one side - complete with checkerboard floor. http://www.theroyalrestaurant.comI'm not saying this is the source, but the similarities are uncanny.
